### "Miracle Cures" (whether miracle by chemistry or
by economy) are only cures for problems appropriately
targeted.

Glucosamine/Chondroitan are precursors to cartilege
and connective tissue, meant to be absorbed through
diet (GI) means -- similar to eating "shark cartilege"
or jello (which is made from "rendered" beef joints).
If your underlying condition is not stemming from your
body's dietary intake being outstripped by its
requirements for these substances, as in Mara's case,
then you're not going to see any improvement.

Keep your expectations reasonable. (Or, if you happen
upon a guaranteed youth pill, gimme a call right
quick, PLEASE?)
